ASSIGNMENT

You are required to conduct a research project on the various methods of measuring attributes of phenomena

in this world. Your project should cover the following topics:

An overview of the different units of measurement, from informal to standardised, including the metric

system and the Standard International $($SI$)$ measurement system.

An analysis of the different measurement scales, including nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scales,

and their properties.

A detailed discussion of the different methods of measuring length, perimeter, area, volume, capacity,

mass, time and temperature, including the appropriate measurement units and scales.

An investigation into the challenges faced when converting units of measurement, including innovative

ways to visually represent the conversion process.

A critical evaluation of the various methods of measuring attributes of phenomena in this world, including

their strengths and weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement.

MARKING CRITERIA:

Depth of understanding of the different units of measure, including the metric system and the Standard

International $($SI$)$ measurement system $(10$ marks$)$

Analysis of the different measurement scales and their properties $(10$ marks$)$
